My dear Mother My Shakespeare has fine print
but it is very clear I think. Mr. Comstock did
not have me up this morning. It looks as if
it were going to storm tomorrow. The cakes
are not gone yet but there is not much left.
Thy nice long letter which arrived this morning
was very acceptable. I hope that thee does
not tire thyself out every time thee goes to
see grandmother. Much obliged for the
subscription. Yesterday I took a swim but still
in a very short time. I feel very well. W.W.S.
